Peru Monthly Meeting was set off from Darby Monthly Meeting by Saratoga
Quarterly Meeting in 1799. In 1810 it became part of Ferrisburgh Quarterly
Meeting. In 1828 it divided into Orthodox and Hicksite branches. The Orthodox
branch continued until it was laid down in 1868 and the members attached to
Ferrisburgh Monthly Meeting.

Monthly meeting records normally include minutes of men’s and women’s
meetings for business and registers of births, deaths, marriages, removals
(transfers), and disownments. In general, non-members are not mentioned in the
minutes, even when they attended meeting for worship on a regular basis.
